Invest in Lumiorav!

INTRODUCTION

Lumiorav is a successful and growing brand. The aim of this campaign is to take the brand to the next phase of development and achieve overall recognition in the Estonian market.

Did you know that you are likely living in deficiency of the most essential mineral for your body, magnesium? According to various data, 75-90% of people worldwide suffer from chronic magnesium deficiency. This can lead to muscle cramps, insomnia, fatigue, headaches, and even depression, among other serious symptoms.

Lumiorav has launched a product that helps everyone easily supply their body with magnesium. In addition to being for the average adult, it is also for athletes, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, as well as growing children. It is an easily consumable, relaxing, and delicious Estonia’s first pure magnesium water, clearly distinct and different from other mineral waters currently available.

The sales of bottled drinks has been consistently growing, having more than doubled in Estonia alone in the last 10 years. The overall demand for healthy beverages is following a similar trend, with water leading the way. Studies show that health has become the most important factor for buyers, leading to increased purchases of vitamin- and mineral-enriched beverages.

Lumiorav’s magnesium water is composed of pure Estonian groundwater and magnesium citrate. One pint bottle (0.568L) covers 90% of average daily magnesium need. Lumiorav’s magnesium water, with its clean and light lemony taste, is suitable for everyday consumption, sports activities, and even appeals to those who do not enjoy typical salty mineral water.

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION

1. A large portion of the population, estimated at 75-90%, does not get enough magnesium from their diet (see ncbi; WHO; a-m). However, due to our fast-paced lifestyles and stress, we require increasing amounts of magnesium. Magnesium affects all the metabolic reactions in our bodies. Without magnesium, our bodies would struggle to produce energy, we would suffer from muscle cramps, and our cholesterol levels would constantly cause problems. Additionally, magnesium helps the body combat stress and, together with calcium, ensures healthy bones and teeth.

2. So far, there has been a lack of domestically produced magnesium water with a good taste and a significant magnesium content that is enjoyable to consume for thirst quenching, as plain table water, or for post-workout recovery, while also meeting daily magnesium needs.

3. There is a need for a healthy alternative to energy drinks and coffee. Magnesium helps produce energy at the cellular level. Lumiorav’s magnesium water, therefore, takes two steps beyond energy drinks, which only temporarily reduce fatigue through caffeine and sugar, often at the expense of the body’s energy reserves. Temporary well-being is quickly replaced by restlessness and anxiety, and the number of depressive symptoms may even increase. Continuous consumption of energy drinks can lead to burnout and health problems. In contrast, magnesium water supports the body’s natural energy restoration process.

Solution

Lumiorav’s magnesium water addresses a significant problem and aligns with current trends by introducing magnesium as one of the important minerals for health in the bottled water market. Restoring, maintaining, and enhancing the body’s natural and sustainable physical and mental capabilities is Lumiorav’s main focus. As magnesium is the most crucial mineral in your body, Lumiorav’s magnesium water should be the most important beverage in your drink selection.

Finland and Latvia have been selected as the initial export markets due to their similar business culture, contacts, and proximity. The first quantities of Lumiorav’s magnesium water have already been sent to Finland and Latvia.

The total volume of the Estonian bottled water market was approximately 59 million euros in 2022 (statista.com)

Indirect competitors for Lumiorav magnesium water include larger brands selling bottled water (Aura, BonAqua, Värska, Borjomi, Essentuky). The direct competitor is mineral water DonatMG, which is focused on magnesium, and some vitamin drinks containing magnesium. In terms of taste there are no direct competitors.

BUSINESS GROWTH AND BRAND EXPANSION

In the sales of magnesium water, we focus on three main channels:

Resellers (retail chains, gas stations, sports clubs, pharmacies, kiosks, etc.)
Export (Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, etc.)
Direct sales (company offices, sports clubs, etc.)

Introducing and marketing Lumiorav magnesium water will also significantly increase the sales of Lumiorav’s other products through brand awareness. Furthermore, with the success of magnesium water, we can more easily place current and future products in retail chains. The plan, alongside marketing magnesium water, is to achieve overall brand recognition for Lumiorava in the Estonian market by the end of the current year.

We forecast a minimum 10-fold growth in the company’s (brand’s) value, meaning that within 5-7 years, the value of the Lumiorav brand company in terms of sales price will be at least 10 million EUR.

In the long term, we aim to create new health- and magnesium products and product categories ranging from food sector to sports and entertainment. We have various new ideas and prototypes on the table, such as protein bars, juice boxes, ice cream, and more.

FAQ

What exit conditions do you offer for investments?

In the future, we are interested in a partial buyback of shares on agreed terms. In the case of an exit, where the main shareholders decide to sell their stake in the future, all shareholders will receive proceeds proportionally to the number of shares they hold. All shareholders also have the option to sell their shares on the secondary market at any time.

How have you considered the potential impact of an economic downturn on expansion?

The exact effects of an economic downturn are difficult to predict. However, it can be assumed that most products related to health and food are among the safer investment segments.

What logic was used to determine the company’s value?

In determining the company’s value, we have relied on the evaluation of company resources, financial forecasts, and comparison data from successful campaigns of other similar companies. We have analyzed recent successful campaigns in the food and beverage industry, comparing the assigned values of those companies based on past revenue, forecasts, and profit/loss from previous years.

The company’s value reflects the potential for generating future income, and therefore, relying solely on the past is not methodologically correct. It is essential to critically assess the results that can be achieved in the future. For determining the value of a growing company, the methodology often involves using a multiple of the previous year’s revenue or the projected revenue for the upcoming year(s).
